Boron tribromide → HCID 17977677, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.25 g of boron tribromide are added -20° to a suspension of 392.3 mg of N-(6-aminohexyl)-4-hydroxy-5-nitro-m-anisamide hydrobromide in 25 ml of dry methylene chloride. After the addition the mixture is stirred at -20° for 1 hour and subsequently at room temperature for 17 hours. The reaction mixture is then evaporated, the residue is treated with 10 ml of water and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After evaporating the water the residue is chromatographed of Sephadex LH 20 with toluene/ethanol (1:1). There is obtained N-6-aminohexyl-3,4-dihydroxy-5-nitrobenzamide hydrobromide 205°-207° (from ethanol).
